If not, let me- suil-.r, let me paSs away
where my Creator wills. There is need
OF .rsajIe.uIm IN the prsseuC state of
society but It is never brought about by
elsctlnp different classes IN society TO
make laws to uhelrinreresS, but TO see that
laws = made to do iustly. love mercy
ana walk humbly with the spirit of DI-
VINE love and Truth Tor the interest OF all.
Do not encourage the Farmers Club to
ASPIRE after political power to support
LutIr Interest as owners of farms but let
them understand that they have 10 de-
pend ON Jaborers tbrou IN the Creator of
all good tor ell their physical blessings,
